17. Chiwetel Ejiofor

Common Mispronunciation: "I'm not attempting that..."/CHI-wa-tell EDGE-aye-oh-for How It's Actually Pronounced: CHOO-it-tell EDGE-ee-oh-for Let's start with the one that's currently doing everyone's head in, then: Chiwetel Ejiofor. Unfortunately, this is one of those names that - even if you learn how to pronounce it - you'll never feel comfortable saying out loud. Tellingly, nobody cared about saying this name right until 12 Years a Slave came out. Hell, most people just referred to him as "the black guy from Love Actually" before then.
